A dreary view day, but a bad day hiking is better than a good day doing just about anything else. A couple inches of snow on the Crawford path to start. Crawford Path up to Webster Cliff junction was bare-bootable with light traction. We used snowshoes. Crawford Path to Eisenhower Loop was barely recognizable. We were the first group of the day, and trail was drifted over. We used snowshoes, but others after us postholed it pretty good. Wicked windy on Ike. Beware the spruce traps!! |
